vue-final-modal@5

First of all, I would like to thank all users of vue-final-modal. I learned a lot through creating and maintaining this component library. I am planing to implement v5 recently. If you have any practical suggestions, please leave a message below.

Roadmap

Features

• [ ] ~useDialog() composable and VueFinalDialog component based on <dialog />, see #419~
  • use vue-use-template that provide Container, useTemplate, etc.

• [x] useTemplate composable, can be used to render components without using VueFinalModal.vue. For example:

  import { useTemplate, defineTemplate } from 'vue-final-modal'
  import CardAction from './path/to/CardAction.vue'
  
  const { open, close } = useTemplate({
  component: Card
  slots: {
    title: '<h1>The card title</h1>', // string, will be render as html
    content: defineAsyncComponent(() => import('path/to/CardContent.vue')), // put a component or async component
    action: defineTemplate({
      component: CardAction, // put a component or async component
      attrs: {
        confirmText: 'Confirm',
        onConfirm: () => {}
      },
      slots: {
        ...
      }
    })
  }
  })
  
  show() // show the template
  hide() // hide the template

  useTemplate is useful if you want to define a modal yourself with <dialog> element for example. see #419

Breaking Change

• [x] Replace body-scroll-lock with scroll-lock, see #403

• [x] Rename API useModalSlot() to defineTemplate() and support infinite recursive nested slots to useModal(). For example:

  import { useModal, defineTemplate } from 'vue-final-modal'
  import CardAction from './path/to/CardAction.vue'
  
  useModal({
  component: VueFinalModal,
  attrs: { ... },
  slots: {
    default: defineTemplate({
      component: Card
      slots: {
        title: '<h1>The card title</h1>', // string, will be render as html
        content: defineAsyncComponent(() => import('path/to/CardContent.vue')), // put a component or async component
        action: defineTemplate({
          component: CardAction, // put a component or async component
          attrs: {
            confirmText: 'Confirm',
            onConfirm: () => {}
          },
          slots: {
            ...
          }
        })
      }
    })
  }
  })

Compatibility

1. For Option API

vue-final-modal@2.x is for Vue 2, vue-final-modal@3.x is for Vue 3.

2.x and 3.x have pretty much the same API.

2. For Composition API

vue-final-modal@4.x introduce the useModal() composable and fully rewrite with Typescript.

However it's not support Vue 2.

• [ ] Make vue-final-modal@5.x support both Vue 2 and Vue 3
  • After some research, it might be impossible to make it with vue-demi only because vue-final-modal is not only a composable library but also provide components. The easiest way might be having two split version, but this way I'll have to copy and paste a lot of same codes which I want to avoid. (I'm open to any suggestions)

Make vue-final-modal@5.x support both Vue 2 and Vue 3

Why is this the aim? Vue 2 reached end of life at the end of last year so supporting it seems like a completely unnecessary overhead?

I just want to try it out and play with vue-demi vue-final-modal@2 supports Vue 2, vue-final-modal@3 supports Vue 3 and their syntax is exactly the same. But vue-final-modal@4 only supports Vue 3 and the syntax has breaking change. I understand that Vue 2 has reached end of life, but if the new syntax of vue-final-modal@5 can both support Vue 2 and 3, Vue 2 users can upgrade to vue-final-modal@5 before migrating to Vue 3 to reduce the complexity of migration.

After some research, vue-demi is not aimed at component compatibility but is purely logical composable. So if vue-final-modal@5 needs to support both Vue 2 and Vue 3, there may be a lot of duplicate code in the project. I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Does it still in progress? useTemplate looks great and looking forward to the custom dialog container. Thanks your contribution

与vue-router绑定?

Hi. What's the status of the 5.x? I just see a lot of potential places for performance improvements, like reducing the amount of WatchEffect. But I'm not sure if it's worth doing a PR for version 4 now, since a lot of things have already been changed in 5.

Also about Vue 2 support, it's clearly not worth it, I'd even say it's better to support Vue from 3.3+ to get toRef() and toValue() for getters.
